He certainly has the talent to be a good closer but like way too many guys cannot throw his good stuff on a consistent basis.
Yeah, you're right this is just based on one appearance against a bad part of an ok lineup. I'm just trying to see what AA or Cito or whomever saw.

Still, what struck me was how un-like he is to our other closers. I still think of him in approach and stuff as the new Beej (closer BJ Ryan), but with the protection of a complementary bullpen instead of being "the guy."
